Forever Young

 

Clever, that a composition with such a title would erase itself in under five minutes. Living in gradual drone, some place cold where the sublime meets the sinister, “Forever Young” is no ordinary ode to optimism. Instead, it finds peace in knowing that age will, in fact, catch up: it will bury.

Works by Istanbul-based artist Ekin Üzeltüzenci under the name Ekin Fil date back to 2008 at bandcamp. Above is a recent soundcloud stray, though another release is likely not far behind. Meanwhile, find last year’s excellent self-titled LP via Students of Decay.

Little

 

Just a little, of what exactly is not entirely clear, but this something sounds like it’s exceptionally sweet… impossibly beyond grasp. Lost in Candyland. At least initially… though within a few pitched skips, baby coos and gummy bird chirps, the grounds of “Little” technicolorize into synthesized symphonic festivities. Of course it’s very much the right time for such a twist. Wildarms, that perennially positive pop dreamer, knows this. As do the fine folks at Cascine. So naturally, generously, seasonally… this also leads into a free EP, available for download December 17th.

… But from here, across a barrier, through a window or a screen, in a dream, receiving the transmission with a diode sheen:

It’s unclear if the signal means, but certainly the beacon sings.
